Even if Joey had time, Stacy wouldn't let them meet her.Seeing that Emily was about to say something, Vaughn quickly stopped her. "Alright, we'll make an appointment. Please let her know.""Wait a moment," Stacy said before turning slowly toward the office.At the office door, she knocked before entering to report, "Joey, I told them Monica is away, and now they want to make an appointment to see you."Should I refuse? I think they just want to apologize. Do you care about their apology?"Joey nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Decline them. Tell them I'm fully booked this year, and we'll talk about next year when it comes."She was busy, and chatting with the Fulham family couple was the last thing on her list.Stacy was thrilled and returned to relay the message.After informing them, she couldn't help but add, "Mr. Fulham, Ms. Lane, even I, a mere assistant, remember what you did and said at Emmen a month ago."If I were you, I would be too ashamed to come repeatedly. Ms
This incident marked a significant turning point in Shane's career as an assistant.He transformed from someone who only acted on Zachary's orders into a top-level assistant capable of handling matters independently.Meanwhile, Monica brought the tacos and broth to Zachary's room. Just as she was about to talk to Zachary, the sound of a plate breaking came from another room accompanied by Rose's voice."Does Monica know how to take care of a patient? How can she make tacos for me?"Monica sighed and said to Zachary, "I'll go talk to Rose and be right back."As she left, Zachary's eyelashes fluttered.In Rose's room, Henry wore a helpless and aggrieved expression.Monica told him, "You can go and eat. From now on, I'll handle her meals.""Who do you think you are? Why did Joey ask you to come? The Gray family—""You seem energetic. I suppose you're not hungry, right? Given that you've wasted your dinner, you can reflect on it while starving tonight." Monica turned to leave.Ro
"Your husband cheated," Joey Linton got a message from her bestie while resting on a clinic bench after her ovulation induction. She looked pale with her black hair, and her oval face was devoid of color, but her stunning beauty still turned heads as people passed by.Joey took a deep breath. Her hand trembled as she tapped on an image on her phone. It was a picture of her husband, Zachary Gray, holding a woman dressed in a pink designer dress as they left a hotel. His usually stern face had softened as he looked at her.She recognized the woman. She was Zachary's first love, Julia Fisher. Once she snapped out of it, Joey gave Zachary a call. After the phone's long, busy tone, he finally picked up. His tone was cold. "What's up?""Are you coming back tonight?" Joey actually wanted to ask if he'd ever come back at all, but it seemed her call interrupted him. After a few quiet seconds, Zachary snapped impatiently, "Is it that urgent?"Joey's eyes got a bit teary, but she kept her
She said it firmly with confidence in her eyes. Before she could say more, Zachary's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned and answered, "What's up?"The voice on the other end spoke, and he immediately responded, "I'll be there right away." Without a second glance at Joey, he left the bedroom.Joey huffed but stayed silent. Sleep was impossible now. She got up, packed her bags, and signed the divorce agreement. After leaving it on the coffee table, she left the apartment.Selena leaned against the car with her legs crossed and her demeanor casual. When she saw Joey carrying a small suitcase, she stood upright. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Seriously? Is this all you're taking?"Joey casually put her bag in the trunk and got into the passenger seat. "The rest are all just material possessions. At least for now, I'm free."Selena seemed doubtful. "Are you really getting a divorce?"Joey shrugged nonchalantly. "Time to put away the lovey-dovey stuff and go for a fresh sta
Joey quickly gathered herself and said, "Just give me a moment. I'll be right there." She applied a light touch of makeup to conceal the dark circles under her eyes, changed into a sleek, professional outfit, and slipped into high heels before heading downstairs.As she spotted the familiar figures snuggled up on the lobby's sofa from a distance, her steps faltered. The smile on her face vanished instantly. There was no way to slip away now.Zachary frowned when he saw her. He stood up and strode over. Then, he grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. "Joey, you've really got some nerve to track me down here."Joey pursed her lips and frowned. The divorce was imminent, and she didn't feel like explaining any misunderstandings. She shook his hand off and politely smiled. "Mr. Gray, I'm at work. Please behave properly."Zachary scowled as he retorted impatiently, "Running short on cash that you need to work as a shopper now?"Joey let out a sarcastic laugh. He knew about her t
The price seemed exorbitant compared to that of international top designers' wedding dresses. The wedding dress had reportedly been in the making for over three years, and it remained breathtaking.With his hands casually in his pockets, Zachary glanced at Joey and said, "If you like it, let's go with this one." He handed his card to the store attendant and said, "Just swipe it, no need for a PIN."Julia hugged Zachary excitedly and exclaimed, "I love you, Zachary!" Joey shifted her gaze, feeling an indescribable sense of unease. 7.18 million dollars was a mere drop in the bucket for Zachary. He'd give Julia anything she desired without hesitation.Joey nodded and signaled her assistant to process the payment. The assistant hesitated, her gaze fixed on Joey. How could they sell this dress? Joey had designed it for herself. There was a pang of reluctance, but they would be divorced, and there would be no wedding. What was the point of keeping it? However, Joey chuckled and sa
Zachary looked at Joey with a frown. Why was she here in the first place? Dealing with this service role and the scrutiny involved was a stark difference from her life with the Gray family. He couldn't resist a taunt. "If you can't humble yourself, don't try to serve others."Joey felt a slight sting from his words. These two were experts at twisting the truth. She pursed her lips and said politely, "Fine, we'll find someone else for you. Hopefully, you can get Chloe's contact and bring us more clients."Joey left the fitting area and called in an assistant. "Don't mention my identity when you're in there." Then, she added with a touch of malice, "Tell them Chloe is grieving her late husband and has no interest in designing." Meet Chloe? In your dreams!The assistant walked in just in time to hear Julia complaining to Zachary, "Look at her attitude. I adore this dress and just wanted Chloe's contact. "But why is she being like this? The service quality of staff these days
Zachary felt annoyed as he looked at the divorce agreement and the cards in his hand. He thought Joey was just throwing a tantrum, but she was dead serious! "Are you serious?" He forced the words through his anger.Joey frowned. "I am. Sign it, and we can handle the divorce at the clerk's office the other day."Zachary stared at Joey. They had been married for three years, and she had always been the perfect Mrs. Gray. She was obedient, caring, and exceptionally good to his family, and especially to him. But now, she seemed like a different person. Her impatience and the words that escaped her once-lustrous lips were now icy. She couldn't wait to be free of him.A sharp pain pierced Zachary's heart. He quickly shifted his gaze and walked into the living room. He said indifferently, "No need to wait. Tomorrow morning at 9 am, the clerk's office."Joey thought she was prepared for this, but she realized her heart still ached when the moment arrived. It was like a thousand needles
